An easterly view along Park Road towards Church Street. These stone gate piers mark the exit from the grounds of "Field House" (a former grand residence or Hall). The residence was built c.1750 for the Osborne family. Having fallen into disrepair c.1918 it was bought by the local Education Authority and is now the site of a school. The gates are all that remain of the property and they now serve to mark the entrance into the West Park School car park. They also serve as one of the access points into the West Park Meadows Local Nature Reserve.
